Alexis Coindreau, a Mexican filmmaker and editor, has become a key figure in the film industry thanks to his innovative vision and dedication to the art of storytelling. His eagerness to learn led him to move to New York, where he studied film formally, thus forging his own style and creative vision. Over the years, Coindreau has worked on a wide variety of projects, from major film productions to music videos.
Currently, Coindreau is working on the post-production of "Bethlehem," an ambitious $50 million film directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro Monteverde.

With a renowned cast that includes Gael García Bernal and Sam Worthington, "Bethlehem" is shaping up to be one of the major film releases in 2025.
Coindreau recounts how his collaboration with Monteverde began with the creation of an exclusive teaser for the project's investors, a task that laid the groundwork for his role as lead editor in the film's post-production. His ability to weave visual and emotional narratives is reflected in every cut and transition, being essential to the film's success.
Born in Mexico, Coindreau started his career in the film world working on small projects in Nova Scotia, Canada. His journey has led him to overcome obstacles and turn them into valuable lessons for his growth as a filmmaker and person. In "Bethlehem," the star-studded cast, which includes Sam Worthington, Ben Mendelsohn, and Gael García Bernal, brings to life a story that seeks to resonate emotionally with the audience through visual and narrative quality.
In a reflection on his career, Coindreau mentions: "Today I can say with certainty that dreams are not only achieved; they are built, step by step, with effort and courage." With "Bethlehem," Alexis Coindreau establishes himself as one of the most influential figures in contemporary film post-production.
